Red Wings Lost

Famous quotes containing the words red, wings and/or lost:

    And out of her bosom there grew a red rose
    And out of Lord Lovel’s a briar, briar, briar,
    And out of Lord Lovel’s a briar.
    Unknown. Lord Lovel (l. 38–40)

    Little Trotty Wagtail, he waddled in the mud,
    And left his little footmarks, trample where he would.
    He waddled in the water-pudge, and waggle went his tail,
    And chirrupt up his wings to dry upon the garden rail.
    John Clare (1793–1864)

    Christ of His gentleness
    Thirsting and hungering,
    Walked in the wilderness;
    Soft words of grace He spoke
    Unto lost desert-folk
    That listened wondering.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)
